Haiti Mission, Inc.

Hello Friends:

We have surpassed our Sponsor goal of $160,000 in donations and pledges for the 2024 Silent Auction.  Since our last email we received additional Sponsors and donations which have raised our current total to $171,150.  Mesi anpil and Bondye beni to all of our generous sponsors and donors!  It is clear from the donor phase that God’s plan is that we should continue to build a minimum of two - three homes per month. Each home now cost $9000.

Despite all the challenges in Haiti we continue to be able to get supplies.  Our 70-man construction team completed Home #390 in March and are currently working on Homes # 391-393.  Home # 390 is the new home for 8 sets of twins!  HMI continues to feed more than 300 children each day at school, and we fed 445 prisoners in February and will do so again in April.  God is good! 

We are hoping to raise over $200,000 which will be dedicated towards home construction.  Last year a total of $221,241 was raised so we have $50,092 to go to break that record!
